It’s Oscar nomination day and I have Awardsdaily‘s first lady of Oscar talk Sasha Stone with me to discuss and break down this morning’s Oscar nominations and what the state of the race looks like now.
2018 Oscars: 90th Academy Awards Oscar Nominations
Sasha and I dig deep into where Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Shape of Water are after their SAG and PGA wins, what that Martin McDonagh director snub means and how the current brewing backlash of his film could stop it dead in Oscar’s tracks.
2018 Oscars: Who Are the Frontrunners Now?
Get Out and Lady Bird feature heavily as contenders that could find themselves with less baggage than the two guild beasts and the Academy showed this morning that they’re diverging on a different path than those guilds with over-performers like Darkest Hour and Phantom Thread and under-performers like I, Tonya and Molly’s Game.
This podcast runs 1h 9m with music.
Intro: Andy Serkis and Tiffany Haddish announce the 2018 Best Picture Oscar nominees (via the Oscars’ YouTube page)
Outro: “New York City By Day,” by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan
